Scenes from the history of the IEDR

The .ie Domain Registry (the IEDR) has been in the news lately following a compromise which left Google.ie and Yahoo.ie redirected to an Indonesian server controlled by hackers. This reminded me to scan and upload some documents from a 2003 Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of Communications about the IEDR - while of little contemporary relevance, they are very informative indeed for anyone with an interest in the history of the .ie space and hopefully will be a useful follow on to the massive set of documents Michele Neylon obtained under FOI relating to the formation of the IEDR.
